Hi there! I have a rooted phone with original kernel KE8. I wanted to replace my Google Maps app (which is a system app) with a newer version of the same app. The version which came pre-installed on the SGSII was 5.2, but my friend has given me a newer version 5.6. But the problem is that the new version is not getting installed because the older version will not get removed by the uninstaller. Does anyone know how to do this?
Titanium Backup I guess.

I have Titanium Backup latest version. So how to uninstall my existing Google Maps using that app? Can you please explain in detail as I don't see any "uninstall" option in Titanium backup.

Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab. Tap the app to bring up various action buttons, one of which is uninstall. Be careful....

Did exactly what you told. Google Maps is removed but so are 3 other applications along with it.....Navigation, Places & Latitude! And the new file which I had of Google Maps v5.6 version is also NOT installing. So now what to do? How do I get them back? I did not create any backup of them before uninstalling the existing Google Maps.

install Google Maps from market... after install u'll get back Latitude/Places/Navigation...
@prosumerhacks : Thanks, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. But was just wondering why wouldn't the phone install a Google Maps file which is already downloaded and transferred to my phone from my laptop?

It does, under the tab "Constricter" find Maps and uninstall. It works here!
Thanks everyone for helping. I re-installed the latest version of Google Maps from the Market again. Navigation, Places & Latitude are a part of Google Maps only and were also installed.
There is also an app called 'Root Uninstaller' free in Android market which allows to uninstall and even freeze system/sd card apps which TB doesn't allow in the free version.

google maps.... have navigation enabled only in u.s.a and neighbours.
this is a modded google maps 5.2.1 app that would enable navigation WORLDWIDE including INDIA . and thus you wont need any other navigation app.
and undoubtedly google maps are the best maps available for android ,iphone, windows etc.
as google maps have already updated to offline maps support...
i have personally tried the mod in india and works very well...
other modded gmaps are older versions but this one is new..
INSTRUCTIONS:
download and extract the .apk
1. install titanium backup.
2. in titanium backup, go to apps and wipe data for maps(i.e official maps).
the mod wont work if data is not wiped..
3. after wiping data, you can also clear cache. so that nothing of original maps is there..
4. now uninstall the maps using titanium backup .
5. you may perform a reboot (though worked for me without reboot).
6. now install the moded maps.
7. again you may try reboot if not working (worked for me without reboot)
and you are done....

I'm getting application not installed problem too. I'm using the JPM ROM. If I install it through ADB it gives me [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
I removed data + cahce of old maps and then uninstalled with abslute system root..
This'd be awesome if it worked, any workaround for this?
on kyrillos' 2.3 (JPF) works just fine
So this most likely is a problem related with JPM.
I also cannot push anything to /system/app, even after remounting (I get a 'permission denied').
Thanks for the file though. Now I only need to wait for always root kernel for this rom

It is because the adb in JPM is locked... You cave to unlock it or put a custom kernel
Works great, thanks. Previously using brut.all maps.
on kyrillos' v3 beta works excellent thanks man

well i dont know but in india and many other countries it doesnt work...
well you have to follow instructions carefully....
coz if a bit of info of official gmaps is there, it shows install failed.
you may try reboot after uninstalling data and cache and the maps apk
Hi
I am on kryillos v3.0 beta ,the application s instaled n working but after I close maps my phone hangs a lots I mean its very much lagging....any idea....?
Does anyone have a link to find the Apps that have been Removed from the Android Market?
I'm just curious cause a bunch of apps that I've been using, seem to all of a sudden not show up when I search for them in the Market!
Thanxx in Advance...
I was once trying to find a particular game's backup program that I had used to make a backup (and now I wanted to restore) ... I went through hundreds of google results to no avail - I don't think there is a general solution to this. Perhaps there are legal ramifications? All of the third-party app trackers that I found didn't have removed apps, or did and just linked to google's (not working) download location. I think the key is to always use something like Titanium Backup! That way you can always get your apps back.

Yeah I know... I usually make backups of just about every app that I download.
But sometimes I guess I'm just Stupidly anticipating a update that just Never comes! Lol...
I don't know what app are you lookin for, but you can try to look for them in others market like Snappzmarket, Aptoide, Blackmart or applanet

Hi all!
I am searching an application that allows me to backup the .apk files of both user and system applications like AppWererabbit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196069&page=4). The problem is that i need this app to be compatible with android versions below 4.0, i.e. android 2.3.X.
I have already installed titanium backup on my phone, but i miss the ability to set an automatic .apk backup when each system/user app is updated. I think that to keep .apk files of older versions of the same app could be usefull. Anyone has some suggestion, please?

Thanks for your reply but, as i have already mentioned in the first post of the thread, i have already have TB. Since TB is "THE" backup application, i have searched through the settings but i did not find the ability to set an automatic app backup when app is updated. If you are saying that such an option is available in TB, please tell me how to find it. Thanks.

I personally use ES File Explorer to backup my apps. Theres an option to backup app data too but thats only for rooted phones. But I'm not sure if it'll work on Android versions below 4.0

As file manager i do usually use ES, but i didn't know it had such a function. You can schedule app backups with ES?
I don't think you can do that.

That is the problem. I searched through the option of ES File Manager but i did not find such a feature. The ability to schedule the app backup (as well as the ability to set an auto-backup when updating) is essential to me.
Hello,
So I've downloaded the black themed play store, was so excited when I flashed it. But now I want the original play store back! I have a back up of the original play store but once I install it, the app wont be installed because its a different signature..Any Suggestions?
Try removing the Play Store apk you have installed (with titanium or something like that) then install your backup apk.
I deleted my original playstore. How to restore it.

Hi, a few days back, i deleted my backed up playstore. How could I restore the orignal playstore. I mean, the first version which would automatically update itself later on. Could anybody attach the oldest version here ?

I guess i didnt mention it correctly. I installed the latest market apk n pushed it as system app. So, since the base apk is the new one, thr wont b any option to uninstall updates. But I need that thing, so could anybody upload the version of the market that comes up with note2 stock. Without updates.

Thanks for your help. Have you tried it yourself? And does it auto update
Is it possible to delete Google Hangouts from my phone completely?
I don't use it, nor will I ever use it, so why does it have to be on my phone? I am so sick of having it pop up in Play Store reminding me to update it, when I don't even use it. I would rather it be deleted from my phone so I will never be prompted to update it again. The saddest part is they must know what a complete dud this app is as they've removed the uninstall tab on the play store page (well for me its removed and I can't uninstall it from the play store) but they sure as hell like to remind me the bloody thing needs updating ...
Could someone please advice the best method to rid my phone of this nuisance.
Thx
You can uninstall it with titanium back up as long as you are rooted but I'd freeze it first to be safe. Don't think you can uninstall it without root
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
with root you can uninstall it via rootexplorer or search here for aromafile manager,with this you can delete it in recovery,just flash aromafile man zip in cwm and go to system/apps and delete it,exit filemanager and reboot,done.
I've searched for google hangouts via rootexplorer and titanium and its not listed. Is it installed under a different name?
Thx
